David Hunter is BACK! Bigger, louder and better than ever with his new gig - Night Shift. Join the star of Waitress, Kinky Boots, Once and The Time Traveller’s Wife as he takes to the Lafayette stage to share his original music and Musical Theatre hits
🎟️
A gentle reminder that

is a gameshow and none of its contestants deserve an online battering just for PLAYING it. So unless you think it’s reasonable to tag your Auntie June and call her a f

snake after a game of Monopoly, I’d rein it in a touch.
I’m sure it won’t feature on the highlight reels, but this is honestly my favourite moment on stage.
When life gives you lemons...grab your buddy and SING!

Man on train:
David? Sorry to stop you on the tube.
Me: (pulling my coy, ‘I’m a man of the people’ face) No worries pal.
Man on train:
I saw you in Waitress and the video of you falling.
This is my life now.
Get a pal who can do both.
Let’s take a moment to applaud
@luciejones1
, opening Waitress last night and closing Les Mis tonight. ICONIC! 🥧 ⭐️ 🇫🇷
Proud of you bud!
Meanwhile in a parallel universe, Waitress closes tomorrow.
It shouldn’t feel this significant, but it’s a reminder of what might have been.
Sending love to all those brilliant people, on stage and off, missing their shows. Our time will come.💡
Thought if I refused to collect my things from the adelphi, they’d just have to keep Waitress open.
But they’ve threaten to bin my guitars, so here I am...
And on an entirely separate note, warmest of welcomes to
@Joe_Sugg
, I can’t wait to see your Ogie. Not a euphemism. I’ve never known a kinder, more supportive cast and we’ll be cheering you on every step of the way.

@WaitressLondon
Take it from an old man,
The days don’t stretch any longer.
They’ve left tracks upon my skin,
But I reckon made me stronger.
Farewell
@WaitressLondon
, my friend.
Think of the most embarrassing thing that’s ever happened to you...
I’ll give you a moment...
Got it?
Now imagine running out to bow in front of fifteen hundred people and FALLING FLAT ON YOUR ARSE!
Perspective.
So to be clear, the Christmas COVID rules are down to the common sense of the nation? The same nation that failed to make
@luciejones1
an X Factor winner?
Sure.
I’ll remember 2019 for
@WaitressLondon
. Four Ogies, Three Dawns, Two Jennas and Me.
It hasn’t always been easy, but when life gave us lemons, we made 16 Lulu Lemonade Pies.
Exhibit A, with

I came off stage after ‘You Matter To Me’ the other day, and spanked
@leaskoflife
HARD on the bum.
But it wasn’t him.
It was a new crew member.
And now it’s awkward as f*ck! He only started this week, I don’t even know his name.
But I’m sorry Not-Stephen. I’m sorry.
D’ya know the story behind the iconic red waistcoat? It was made for a different character, but the original Enjolras (brilliant David Burt) fancied it, stole it, hid it in his dressing room for a week and then wore it (without warning) at the first preview!
And I love him.
Gavin, dya mind if I leave a few bits and bobs in the dressing room?
It’s only a few boxes, but I live about half an hour outside of London and it seems a bit silly to lug it all home only to lug it all back again in March, y’know?
I have absolutely NO TIME for anyone shaming people for trying to make money. Everyone’s been dropped on their arses this month and as far as I’m concerned, they can pick themselves up again in whatever way they damn well please. Without, y’know, selling drugs or summat.
4yr old to our next door neighbour:
“We are meeting our friends today.
And they are two boys.
And they are getting married.
It’s brilliant.”

Imagine how you’d feel if you were sent one really nasty tweet.
Imagine ten tweets.
Imagine tens of thousands of them.
Imagine they weren’t tweets, but front page national newspaper articles, seen the world over.
Now imagine handling it with this amount of class. I couldn’t.
Ahead of our gig tomorrow, my dreadful friend
@luciejones1
had the 'Bad Idea' of daring me to mooch around town with a giant poster of my face!
Here's what happened...!
Get your gig tickets NOW and we'll see you at 5pm tomorrow, Sunday August 23rd!
If you’re wondering why
@luciejones1
got the giggles, my mum was in tonight and just before I ‘went down’ on the pineapple upside down pie, I said “my mum’s watching this!”
Continuing my
@Joe_Sugg
research by watching old videos of him and
@dbuzz6589
tearing it up on last year’s Strictly. You two are AMAZING and you make me sick.

A special mention to
@luciejones1
.
She has SOARED through her first official week as Jenna and today she brought something truly magical to West End Live. Anyone who saw her ‘She Used To Be Mine’ knows they witnessed something very, very special.
Well, it’s never dull is it?!
Congratulations to
@desioakley
on the most unexpected and UNBELIEVABLE West End debut!
I’m so full of love for our (ever-growing)
@WaitressLondon
family!

@West_End_Frame
One last goodbye to the show that brought me so much happiness. I’ve never known a company so full of joy.
Join me live on Instagram at 2pm for something more...

Okay everyone, OKAY. I know there’s a lot going on and I’m sure you’ve all been waiting for my opinion on the matter, so here it is...
It’s jam THEN cream. Jam is a spread. Cream is not. It really is that simple.
The UK’s very first and very last pie circles, February 2019 and August 2022. I feel incredibly proud to have been there for both of them, with two exceptional casts. What a glorious adventure. ✨
I don’t even remember doing this one
@leaskoflife
, but it has to be one of our best!
